Gap Between My Corner Lenses and Projectors, Any Suggestions?

Hey I have APC Projector Headlights and some aftermarket corner lenses. Once I installed the corners I noticed a gap between the two, does anyone know how I can get rid of that, or at least make it look less noticeable.

How big is the gap?

I imagine, if you really had to, you could take a heat-gun to your corner lenses, and heat up the mounting arm and bend it forward a bit, then throw them back in...

Or, loosen all the mounting bolts for your projectors and slide them over a bit (don't know if that'll work, but it's worth a try).

Well the gap is pretty much exactly a 1/2 inch, so i dont know how well the melting idea would work, plus I dont want to go playing with fire around my corner lenses, cause I'm not that good at that sort of stuff.

Well, I would try and adjust the projectors then.. that's probably your best bet... Even if you have to drill out the mounting holes a little bit...

But, since they're APC, I'm not really surprised that they don't fit quite right.

When i was taking my Headlights and corner lens out, I noticed that the Corner Lens fits in a little bracket or hole on the headlight bracket. Maybe its not in the hole? Just an Idea.

Actually, obsidian is right... there's a tab on the corner lens that fits into a slot on the headlights... maybe it's not in there?

No they're in, and when they are just sitting in they the gap isn't that bad. It doesnt become really noticeable till I put in the two screws, this pushes out the side of the corner lense near the headlight for some reason, should I just glue it, or is there a less permanent way to do it?
